Morning Coffee and Crayons: Thanksgiving Dinner 2012

As usual we spent our Thanksgiving Holiday with our Great Friends Jenn & Josh and their Family and Mikey. Dinner was delicious, Turkey, Ham, Broccoli Casserole, Green Bean Casserole (this year made by Lexi and Mikey), Mash potatoes and Gravy, rolls, Pumpkin Pie and Pumpkin Cheese Cake. A few changes to this years menu were Stuffing 'Balls' which turned out to be a huge hit and also Corn Casserole which was so yummy. This year another new addition to our feast was a kids table. The kids are getting older and we trusted them to sit at a little table. Amelia and Xzavier were okay at staying put but, as I assumed, Lennox was all over the place, that boy cant keep his butt in a seat (he's so busy). Oh well, the adults enjoyed a nice dinner even though the kids were running crazy, at least this year they amused themselves and played together nicely (for the most part). Amelia and Xzavier kept busy by pretending a bear was chasing them all around the house and Lennox and Avery ran around like they understood the game (always bringing up the rear). After dinner we all sat around clipping the black-friday deals, we wanted to take advantage, of out of the paper (tradition). It was a great Day!

This year I am thankful for my wonderful husband and children. I am really blessed to have three healthy boys that make me smile everyday. I am also thankful for great friends and family that always make the holidays, and every day, so special. I really couldn't ask for anything more in my life... I love you all and hope you have a splendid holiday.
